Health and Fitness

You do not have to feel helpless when you have to manage your diabetes. The correct way to feel in control is to follow the best information you can. This article is just what you need. There are several tips that you might not have thought of before.

Find support with others who have diabetes for his successful approach to the new lifestyle that will be taken. People without diabetes do not understand and can inadvertently tempt dangerous territory. Find support and develop smart habits conversing with fellow diabetics through online forums or groups of people. It is becoming a common disease, you should have no trouble finding other people with the same problem.

Beware of trans fats. Trans fats are found in foods that contain partially hydrogenated oils. These fats are dangerous for everyone, but diabetics are at extra risk. Trans fats cause a greater amount of fat around the waist which has been linked to heart disease. They are also extremely high in calories and low in nutritional value.

Its okay to reuse lancets in your blood glucose monitor or syringes when injecting insulin. As long as you are not sharing then there is almost no real danger in reusing either, so change when they start to hurt, or at least once a month. If you have diabetes and you are going to exercise, it is important to check your blood glucose every now and then. Strenuous activity can cause your body to burn blood glucose and if your body does not have enough glucose, hypoglycaemia may develop. If your glucose levels are too low, try eating foods that contain carbohydrate to raise blood glucose levels.

Insulin-dependent diabetes means a life change. You have to learn to keep a diabetic kit everywhere, check blood sugar, learn to know the signs of high blood sugar and low, keep sugary foods around for any accident symptoms of blood sugar and loved ones need to know how to recognize these signs as well. While diabetes often causes health problems that can limit the types of activities with appropriate training, almost all diabetics can benefit from working with light (under 25 pounds).

Incorporating upper body strengthening their fitness plan is a very effective way to keep fit. If you have cardiovascular problems as a result of diabetes, you should consult with a physician before lifting weights. When traveling, it is especially important to keep food with you. You can stroll through a museum or shopping in an unfamiliar area, and you might find that there is nothing to eat healthy or attractive. If you have your own snacks will at least tide you over until you can find something appetizing.

Now have some practical, easy to understand to help you let go of that feeling of helplessness and start seeing yourself in control of your diabetes. With this information, not only give you more control of your life, but it may be just what you need to look and feel their best.

However, you should think about it. There are things that you are a college, especially if you are off campus or if you work with children or the elderly may be involved in many sports. There are a lot of their campus health centers, but it may not be enough. If you are a hospital, emergency room, or not a specific physician or go to school, you can pay for your trip. Students take care of their health if they can be investigated, but many students do not know about them or even what options are considered.

First, because of some health insurance as their parents do not seem to be a student health insurance. 26 year old students are now dependent on their parent’s health insurance as can be. While this plan is based on the scope of coverage of their parents if you are 26 and / or comprehensive coverage of dependents of their parents are not old, if you can get health coverage can be used to check your college.

Some colleges and universities, health plans can take advantage of the participants. Type and amount of coverage that you may receive college by the change of location College offers a medical plan with a great monthly rate, but only if you use network doctors. However, other than the object that you see your doctor, but you may pay higher rates. The other thing that you need to consider if you can get to you, these children, a wife, or any other that may be claimed as a dependent on your taxes, your college or university through the project can expand their dependents.

Many people get their health insurance decisions and work or school does not have to go through. Especially for students, many insurance companies, of course, no matter what age, if not plan everything that you do not have regular health insurance plan if you cannot cover plans offered does not. To get the proper coverage for you and your family, if you have one, you're in college is very important. Do not.

If they can't see the blackboard in school and have to sit near the front of the theater when they go to the movies, they know they should probably go get their eyesight checked. It seems strange, but these same people will likely avoid going to a hearing center even when there are obvious problems. One reason is that people don't take their auditory functions as seriously. Another is that it is a bit more difficult to discern when your ability to hear has become impaired. This is all the more reason why you should get your ears checked.Making matters worse is the fact that many people will not speak up when they realize they aren't able to hear as well as they used to. Putting the final nail into the coffin, many more people are completely unaware that they are suffering from any kind of loss at all. Those who work at a hearing center give very surprising news every day to patients who discover that they cannot hear as well as they should be able to.Everyone knows that eyesight can fail as early as preschool, but they think that auditory loss -- except in the case of obvious disabilities -- isn't going to affect them until they get much older. This is far from the truth, however. This handicap is experienced by age groups across the spectrum. Though much more rare than near-sightedness for example, it is nonetheless a very real problem and it should be identified and diagnosed as soon as possible.

With many kinds of loss, there are treatments that can easily cure the condition. For instance, someone with earwax and blockage impairing their hearing is pointlessly going through life with decreased sensory perception when the treatment is easy and quick. Of course, not all forms of loss are that easy to treat.

Effects of Diabetes

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of blindness. In a Diabetic, the high glucose levels in the blood can harm organs in our body like the heart, eyes, veins, arteries, kidney and brain.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the leading causes of blindness. It is a growing problem in India, approximately million peoples are suffering from diabetes, and India has the largest Diabetic population. Diabetic eye disease primarily encompasses diabetic retinopathy and cataract, which either lead to reversible or irreversible loss of vision.

The longer the duration of Diabetes, greater is the risk of developing Diabetic eye disease. Progression is rapid in patients with uncontrolled blood sugar. Similarly high blood pressure, increased blood lipid, renal disease, pregnancy, anaemia and smoking also have adverse effect in the progression of diabetic retinopathy.

Retina is the back portion of the eye. The optic nerve along with retina connects the eye to the brain. The high blood sugar damages the cells lining the walls of the arteries and the veins of the retina. These blood vessels may balloon in some corners or places to form micro-aneurysms that leak fluid, blood and fat into surrounding tissue. The fluid accumulation leads to thickening of retina. When it affects the retina known as macula, there will be a drop in vision.

Diabetes also damages the lens of an eye by opacities, it result in cataract. Diabetic patients develop earlier cataracts and may require surgery to replace it with a new intra ocular lens. If the blood sugar is brought under control and remains stable, vision will improve.

Treatment

Timely treatment helps prevent further vision loss. Laser remains the mainstay of treatment for diabetic retinopathy. For fluid accumulation in macula, laser photocoagulation in focal or grid pattern can be applied. Laser treatment is often done to prevent complications related to diabetic retinopathy but not to improve vision.

Steroids and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs are applied directly injected into the eye, these injections help reduce blood vessel leakage and formation of abnormal new vessels.

Hence Diabetic eye problems are treatable, if diagnosed early and also lifestyle management helps reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It can also slow down progression of pre-diabetes.

Symptoms of Diabetes:

In early stages there will not be any blurring vision.

If there is a accumulation of macula fluid, they will find a drop in vision.

Sudden deterioration in vision in advanced stage can occur due to bleeding inside the eye and retinal detachment.

Temporary change in refractive error.

Glare and blurring of vision could be noticed due to cataract.

How to Prevent Diabetes:

Strict control of blood sugar is the mainstay. Maintain HbA1C levels should be around six percent.

A healthy lifestyle including diet control and regular exercise helps avoid further complications.

Measurement of Blood Pressure(part 1):

Apparatus

It is typically made by a circular inflatable cuff connected to a gauge called sphygmomanometer or blood pressure cuff. The first aircraft of this type has been described by Dr. Scipione Riva-Rocci December 10 1896 in the Medical Gazette of Turin.

The current instrument is placed in the arm. A stethoscope is placed at the elbow to listen to the brachial artery. By inflating the cuff to a pressure higher than the maximum pressure, the artery of the arm is then occluded. It then deflates it very gradually and when the inflation pressure equals the systolic pressure (and maximum), the artery opens intermittently as manifested by the appearance of a knocking noise in the stethoscope; these sounds, called "sounds of Korotkoff, are due to turbulent blood flow, hampered by the cuff pressure. Pulses are also important perceptible by the patient and the examiner. When cuff pressure falls below the minimum pressure (diastolic), the artery is then permanently open: the laminar flow becomes turbulent and the auscultatory sounds disappear.

This is the method "counterpulsation.

You can also feel the pressure without a stethoscope, but less precise:

pulsation of the artery are reflected in the cuff, the cuff pressure oscillates between systolic and diastolic pressure, when the cuff deflates, it is therefore the pressure at which the gauge starts to oscillate (systolic pressure) and one to which the needle stops oscillating (diastolic pressure);

taking the pulse of the radial arm compressed when the cuff is compressed, it does not receive the pulse, when the cuff deflates, the pressure at which the pulse appears is the systolic pressure (this method does not d having diastolic pressure).

The association manual sphygmomanometer and stethoscope is increasingly being replaced by automatic equipment (electronic blood pressure) cuff inflated and engine noise is detected by a microphone (auscultatory method), or amplitude variations of 'wave pulse (oscillometric method). These devices allow repeated measurements and monitoring in near real time blood pressure.

One can also measure blood pressure by the same techniques but this time in the same wrist and finger. This is not however the reference method.

When a couple electronic sphygmomanometer to a battery and a memory, we can then take the blood pressure repeatedly during 24 h: the MAPA (= monitoring ambulatory blood pressure also falsely called Holter blood pressure).

In some cases, blood pressure is measured by inserting into the artery, a catheter filled with liquid and connected to a pressure sensor. This more invasive (and therefore riskier) gives more accurate measurements and gives the blood pressure dynamics. Thus, the pressure at each moment of each cardiac cycle the patient is measured, not only the systolic and diastolic blood pressure over time.

Measurement of Blood Pressure(Part 2):

Protocol use

The standard method is to measure the cuff with stethoscope (counterpulsation). She is a patient in a reclining position, arms along the body, after five to ten minutes rest. The arm must be maintained at the heart: if the arm is too low, the pressure will be overestimated. The size of the cuff should be appropriate to the size of the arm if the cuff is too small, the pressure will be overestimated. Initially, we measure the pressure in both arms. Sometimes the pressure is slightly higher in one arm than another: we take the highest pressure as the reference value.

It is currently recommended during a consultation, measure blood pressure at the beginning and the end of the consultation: the syndrome of the white coat (the patient anxiety generated by the presence of medical staff) very often leads falsely high values early in the review.

Estimation without unit

In an emergency, lower systolic blood pressure can be estimated by simply taking the pulse, the latter resulting in the disappearance of a distal pulse; in an adult:

According to people, distal pulses (radial and pedal) may be more or less well received, and on the other hand, the disappearance of a pulse may also be due to external compression (effect withers) or internal (eg arteriosclerosis). We must therefore seek both radial pulse. On the other hand, if the voltage is below 80 mmHg, we did not feel the radial pulse, but conversely, if we do not feel the radial pulse, this does not necessarily mean that the voltage is low.

We can also estimate the systolic pressure with the "capillary refill" it exerts pressure on a nail, it fades, and watch how fast it recolors:

After surviving from hot summer, everyone in happy because its rainy season. But remember if you not cautious about virus, bacteria around you. This will lead to unhealthiness in your body. So to protect yourself in Rainy Season here are some useful tips.

Do not allow water to stand around your house. Otherwise stagnant water will help to mosquito breeding and there is chance of spreading Malaria, Dengue and other diseases.

In Rainy Season using cotton cloths is better. It should be full arm cloths. Do not use ordinary powder, use fungal powder.

Do not touch rainy water with your bare legs. Otherwise it will lead to Athlete foot.

In rainy season give more importance to protect your hairs. Clean your hairs by shampoo or air-conditioner.

We thought that Heart Attack occurs only for above 50years old persons. But nowadays even for 30years old person Heart Attack will be possible. 25% of people who are below 40years and 35% to 45% who are above 50years are suffering from Heart Attack problems. And even High BP is occurring in children’s who are between 14-15 age, this is due to children’s are not involved in regular exercise and setting in front of T.V and computer and eating with potato chips. So this will affect children’s health when they come to age 40.

The main reason for Heart Attack in Men’s is due to ‘smoking cigarettes ‘.Even for Style College students will be smoking cigarettes .And in women’s smoking and diabetes are the main reasons for heart attack. Peoples who are below 40years having habit of smoking, for them five times danger in heart attack.

People who are mentally affected, has sedentary life style and not doing regular exercise are the main reasons for heart attack.

Symptoms of Heart Attack:

There will be pain inside the chest and middle portion, shoulders, left hand, backbone and other parts, and even vomiting, sweating, respiratory problem, acidity and gastric are the other problems.

How to predict before Heart Attack occurs?

60% of patients will be suffering from chest pain, pain in left hand shoulder, stomach pain and sweating are the main symptoms for Heart Attack. And also 10-20 Heart Attack patients will say they are suffering from mostly back pain or non-digestion and discomfort in throat problems.

And also there are chances of ‘Silent Heart Attack ‘.Silent Heart Attack means Heart Attack will occur without any chest pain. This type of Silent Heart Attack will occur whoever has more diabetes and also for old people.

Even in child birth problems like there will be hole in heart, mixture of pure and impure blood disease and heart beating problems. Diseases occur after births are rheumatic fever and more blood pressure.

How to Prevent Heart Attack?

Stop smoking cigarettes, balancing weight of your body, eat a food which has low fat and high vitamins. Controlling high BP and diabetes. Doing regular exercise. Men’s who are above 35years and women’s who are above 45 years should test once a every year.

Today in modern world use of mobiles increasing day by day, so when we hold mobile near to our ears ,then lot of electric radiation are entering to our body through ears. whoever talks more than 30 minutes for a year this lead to disease like cancer. Using a mobile more and more leads to brain cancer said by WHO(World Health Organization) . EMR(Electro Magnetic Radiation)are the radiation stimulates when we are using mobile, so this radiation are very dangerous to our health in long run. So you should minimize timings when your talking in phone. Sending SMS & E-Mails is better way to minimize talking in phone.

Don't use mobile directly, use Hand-free or speaker mode is the better way to use the mobile.

if your mobile is on is more than enough even if you don't call or call ,Electric radiation will continuously exhibiting from mobile. And also nowadays all peoples keep their mobile in front of their chest ,keeping like this led more dangerous. Some people will thought that keeping handset in hand is safer side, but even from that also danger to health.So keeping handset 1 feet distance is safer side. And even some people when they are sleeping will keep their handset with them and even they will keep handset near to their ear for alarm ,this are not good habits and not good for health.So keep a distance with your mobile to safer side.

So to keep away from this dangerous rays WHO introduced a SAR(Safety Absorption Ratio) ,So when all mobile company producers should follow the SAR to reduce the radiation from mobile.Even CNET introduced 10 good and bad handsets in their website.

Children and youths use the mobile more and more.so strong rays will affect their brain and that led to cancer ,this will be more whoever below in 16 years. Mobile,phone,gaming console and tv and other gadgets should keep away from children.

Growing more trees might not only make for a less polluted environment but also lower the incidence of asthma among children, according to a study.

Researches based their findings on a study of city children in the four-five age group. The study found that asthma rates in this age group fell by almost a quarter for every standard deviation increases in tree density, equivalent to 343 trees per square kilometer.

This pattern held true even after taking account sources of pollution, levels of affluence, and population density, all factors likely to influence the results.

Trees may be helping to curb asthma rates by encouraging children to play outdoors more then often or by improving air quality.
